Product Description
- The one Halloween sequel in which He doesn't come home, Halloween III: Season of the Witch was producer John Carpenter's attempt to get the series away from the original's psycho-on-the-loose story line and turn it into a vehicle for more far-fetched Halloween-themed horror tales. Incredibly, the fans voted for more of the same and Carpenter walked away for others to rehash the Michael Myers plot line in a succession of look-alike movies that are still turning up every few years.
After the mysterious death of a toyshop owner, a doctor (Tom Atkins) and the man's daughter (Stacy Nelkin) investigate the Irish-dominated Northern California community of Santa Mira, a company town owned by the Silver Shamrock Novelty corporation. Atkins and Nelkin are typical low-rent horror movie protagonists, dim bulbs who discover an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style conspiracy involving sharp-suited corporate robots. But guest star Dan O'Herlihy steals the film as a Celtic joke tycoon who hates the way American kids are despoiling the religious spirit of Samhain and decides to teach them a nasty lesson. His scheme, which involves a stolen Stonehenge megalith and a techno-magic spell that turns the heads of TV watchers into writhing masses of snakes and insects, is value for money, and O'Herlihy mixes enough serious malice into the charm to come across as a great screen bad guy. --Kim Newman

This movie is OK. But it really STUNK becuase first of all, Michael Myers was not in it! Second of all, it totally drifted away from the whole series. This movie is good for you if you love bugs and halloween masks.
Score: 5

this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the halloween series, and is a horrible movie in its own rite anyway.

It's an Okay Movie....it shouldn't have drifted away from the Michael Myers Storyline completely, though.
Score: 8

Haloween III is perhaps one of the most understated, underated and misunderstood movies of all time. All the major players from the first two installments were onboard for this one (Carpenter, Hill, Akkad, Yablans) with one of Tom Atkin's best roles. With a film that was so careful to mirror the standard set by Carpenter's original, it is a thoughful and provocative horror film, well acted, brilliantly directed with a superb underscore by Carpenter and Alan Howarth. The film should have been a welcome addition to the Halloween franchise, if Universal had only taken the time to market it appropriately, instead of relying on deception and making it out to be the sequel it never was. Even director Tommy Lee Walace and Carpenter pleaded with the studio no to call it Halloween 3. On of Universal's worst judgement calls on record. Stop the bitching about no Myers...Halloween III is the best in the entire series!!!
..."and Happy Halloween..."

Hey you anonymous Sep. 29, first of all if they weren't to make it a sequel then why the hell they named it "Halloween III", huh?
Also, halloween is sopposed to be michael because you suck and your mom was a slut like you.
